I'm looking for a new 650ml titanium mug with a lid and mesh bag after my Alpkit one was stolen by airport staff (removed from checked luggage).

The Alpkit one has gone up significantly since last year. (now £38.99 + postage)

Anything similar out there that's cheaper or worth considering over the Alpkit offering?  

Thanks

I have the older Alpkit - It. Just. Works.

The only cheaper ones on ultralightoutdoorgear are all quite a bit smaller.

I also have the Alpkit 650ml one. It's perfect for bikepacking and lightweight camping.  Doubling up as mug and cook pot.  It's a perfect size to hold a 100g gas cylinder, my MSR pocket rocket stove, an MSR piezo igniter and a folding gas cylinder base.  I also chuck a small general purpose microfibre cloth in to stop everything rattling.

Only minor gripe is mine didn't come with a little net bag.  Should it have done?  With all the above inside it and the lid on, I wrap a short Restrap luggage strap around it to keep the lid on and contents secure.  A net drawstring bag would probably be a better option.

I just pack mine in the pot cosy I always take (yes, I also have an ancient old Alpkit mug).

Thanks for the suggestions and thoughts.

@blokeuptheroad - my Alpkit didn't come with a mesh bag either, which is why I'm keen to get one that has one!

The Widesea is a good price and nice to see 99p postage.

I think my small (400ml?) Alpkit mug came with a bag, but not the bigger 650ml one. No idea why, but appears not to be unusual.
